Guys you're getting no where with this dude, he's been hitting the koolaid hard. Appearently it really is the plane not the pilot. Which then beckens the question. Since the Germans really had the wonder weapon (FW190) how did the allied fighters not only manage to shoot any down but gain air superiority? It shouldn't have mattered that there was a lack of training, the Germans had the 190, its super ubber.
In regard to my point about the Zero and the 190. If you were to take on an A6M2 in your FW flying the angles fight he'd be on you so fast the only way to save your skin is to run. If you were to stay and try to continue the that type of fight your FW would suddenly get religious (full of holes ->holy
) and you'd become another notch on the side of his fighter. You'd have to fight your fight, energy tactics, thus taking away many of his advantages over you and dictating the terms of engagement in order to win.
I'm sorry but I have a real hard time believing that you have been flying this sim for years and know the tactics yet continue to argue generalilities, ie victory in air combat goes to the one with the fastest a/c or most manuverable, best firepower, best climb ect with no regard to any advantage the opposing a/c or pilot skill has over you or your ride.
All your arguments are proving IceFire, Former_Older and others correct that you have a skewed take on history and probably getting pasted in your favorite ride and that's clashing with what you believe to be true. The FW 190 and many other German fighters were a great fighters but like ALL the others they're not the all around best. Against any opponent they had advantages over them and vise versa.
BTW, what the he!! is the gringory channel? Is this another history channel? Never heard of it. Might want to call my cable company friday I think I'm getting screwed. lol
